[Jade's statement is definitely relatable and he'll get to it in a moment, but he's still flustered from her first part.]
Um, yes. I, um— Yes. I... like him.
[Which, really, is its own can of worms. He still doesn't know if he's really capable of those feelings.]
After he broke up with me, I just... kept wanting him to, um, be around? And... be my boyfriend again, so...
[And he got that via Brain Ghost Dirk mostly, but he kept shattering his own illusion by reminding himself he was fake. God. His own brain won't let him be happy, huh? Or maybe he just won't let himself have those illusions anymore, which is frankly for the best in the long run. But at the time, a little comfort would have been nice.]
But... Yeah, doing things the normal way... People might think we're making mountains out of molehills but from where I'm standing, it certainly looks like friggin' Mount Everest.
[Note: he has not seen Mount Everest he just knows everyone says it's the biggest or something.]
